JTSnooks - Believe it or not, the longest portion of time was spent in-game, trying to line the shots up exactly to make Photoshop work easier. I would move them to the computer one at a time and view them full-size so I knew exactly where to take the shot, and other than some very small angle differences, it worked. The Photoshop bit actually took next to no time

Cascada - Thanks, as long as people keep enjoying, I'll keep posting

NTX - I wouldn't go that far, but if you insist...
.
Krame - It's hard to believe the game is going on two year's old already, and I really blame Photomode for my continued interest. GT3 was only alive this long for me because of OLR. And of course there'd be a Scoob in the shot, how could I not?!
LGForce - I'll say what I always do... do it man! I love seeing the more rare shots, like multi-car Photo Travels. They're sometimes a pain in the ass, but it pays off in the end 👍
D_P - No problem man, every so often new people come around that just give off the vibe that they're going to be around for a long time. I have no problems helping people who become part of the community, because I was lucky enough to be helped when I was new here. I'm glad I could help, and I look forward to seeing your gallery hit the 365-mark, especially taking into account how fast you've matured 👍
725 - Thanks as always for stopping by mate, why don't you have a gallery to show off all your work?!
AlexWRC - Thanks, I think that's part of the reason I like the Galant so much; the colour. It's also a treat on N1 tires at the 'Ring, and one of the many cars I much prefer stock.
Pain Killer - Haven't seen you around in a while! Glad you like the older updates. The Fairlady was one of the cars to bite the bullet for this shot, though I probably could've fit the girl in. The Legacy too, before I decided it's too similar to the STI, and I'd much rather have that in there. Thanks!
Keef - You hit the nail on the head; when I was narrowing the cars down, I wanted to get as diverse a crowd as possible. All drivetrains (save for RR), old and new, hatch, coupe, sedan, and convertible, turbo and naturally aspirated, four, six or eight cylinder... though I realized I have no V6 up there, only two inlines. As for a wallpaper-sized one; funny you should ask. The next update is going to be a wallpaper update, since I've got a
ton of material to work with compared to the last one. The 'shopped original size image is saved in PSD format, so I'll just run it through my light editing, and then it will be one of the walls posted up, probably during the weekend

Drift King - Thanks bud!
GR21 - Well, I did have a drink last night, though not because of this...
. Glad you like it
Update: So incase people didn't catch that, the next update, which will hopefully be in a few days, will be wallpapers. There's the old update from last year with 44, so I imagine this one will probably be a fair amount more than that. I'm not quite sure, though it's worth saying this; some of the more Photoshop-intensive shots (the Celica, the red WRX, etc etc) may not make the transition to wallpaper. I may or may not have the original-sized PSD files, and I am not going to go through the cleanup and all that again, so if I forgot to save them, sorry. But I'm pretty sure those two examples (and the anniversary shot) are saved, so we shall see!
to one of the best around!! Congrats on the anniversary and excellent job on the pic!!!
👍
